After seeing that awesome trailer and watching the Master Cheif wield his Assault Rifle (at least it looked like that).

I could only think, did they finally eliminate Dual Wielding???

Now if people didn't know this already, dual wielding was just an excuse to dumb down the weapons we grown to love from Halo1 so they could be Dual-Wieldable.

Dual Wielding also caused a lot of issues over xbox live. By making the game very un-balanced as it was almost impossible to take down someone with a dual wield with your single wield weapon.

Hopefully Bungie will realize their mistake of adding dual wielding and make every weapon single wield again. This way every weapon has its own unique use and no weapon becomes useless if its not dual wielded like in Halo 2. Therefore also creating a more fun / balanced out multiplayer game environment.

If thats true then it will probally still be in Mutiplayer.

I hope at least.

LOLZ

I was waiting for some idiot to defend dual-weilding.

If your implying that dual-weilding, which is basically grabbing two guns and squeezing both triggers while the large gun reticule is over your oppenent takes skill, than you are sadly mistaken buddy.

IMO, Dual Wielding was an attempt to make it easier for people to be good at this game, but to respond to those player, I simply walked over and picked up a BR.

Er... Dual Wielding wasn't a "mistake." And if you believe that it was, fine. But don't try to pass that off as fact. Some people like it, some don't. Nobody's an idiot because they like to use two weapons.

I can garantee that there will be Dual Wielding in Halo 3.

I never once said that dual weilding took skill, I'm just saying that your wording made you sound like a sore loser. I'm all for single-weilding, don't get me wrong.

Wow, just wow....First of all try dual wielding a sniper, then try dual wielding an enemy who is 20ft away from u wit battle rifle, then try dual wielding an enemy with a shotgun/sword at short range. IT WAS BALANCED. I need to leave these forums, they are rampant with trolss and new guys who don't know what they are talking about.

Everybody understands that the assault rifle was replaced by SMGs in Halo 2, NOT THE BATTLE RIFLE. Bringing it back means that either
A.) It will replace the SMG in Halo arsenal
B.) It will serve as a medium between the inaccuracies of the SMG and the slow rate of fire of the Battle Rifle. Leaving all three weapons in the Halo arsenal.

In high definition baby!

I took a lot of people down with dual-wielding with a single weapon.

Are you -blam!- kidding me???

Dual wielding= balanced???

Now I was thinking of arguing the point you make with an intelligent response but I just can't take the crap you people say on these boards anymore.

Its ridic the stuff you people spew out and I hope H3 is not ruined because of all these stupid thoughts. These boards are flooded with idiots and little kids.

-blam!- BAN ME!!!

I DONT GIVE A -blam!-!!!

just from the video you get that ghey got rid of duel weilding, i doubt it, the rifle is a stand alone weapon, theres no reason for it to be duel wielded

Bungie needs to balance dual weilding if it makes a return. Like make your fire in accurate...VERY when dual weilding so we don't have to nerf the weapons...Like the plasma rifle. You should also run slower.

Dual wielding is balanced, the video had NO hints that it would be removed, and you need to take a chill pill.

Dual Wielding was great for Lengdary two needlers were a god sent to kill brutes I have tried not dual wielding aganist a brute but I have die more then when dual wielding. Why have I died more because one needler for one brute and the other for the second if I don't have second one I'm reloading and the brute slams my ass to the ground.

No dual wielding in both. It looks like they are bringing back halo1's true number 2, and thats what i wants and what i hope most people want. Id understand if they didnt get into halo until halo2 that they wouldnt want it.

I do support the return of the M6D, but I do want it weakened in multiplayer. After all, wouldn't it be wierd in war if someone with a rifle screamed "OMFG GET THE PISTOL"?

Dual wielding is not a mistake. Its easy to take down a dual wielder in Halo 2. I like it because it doesn't turn the game into a gaint BR vs BR match like most matches turn out to be now-a-days. Sure BR is skill, we can all do it well. But dual wielding is fun, and can be easily countered in multiplayer.
